Yeah - because I don't think it's gonna fly for the audience to have
Joshua's back turned towards us week after week.

I didn't notice his eye thing, but I wasn't that impressed with his voice. I
was really surprised he got through.

I just thought this back story was too much - I mean, c'mon - your dad
just dies and you're auditioning for American Idol? Call me cynical.

I liked her voice and was really surprised, under the circumstances, that
she did as well as she did. Hard to imagine performing under those
circumstances.

Simon alluded to her being the most annoying person he'd ever met.
Hardly. She was cute enough but doubt she'd go the distance.

She's okay, I guess.

Wasn't this the girl with the kind of raspy voice? She reminded me of
Johnny Mathis at times in that certain vowels she sang were not
audible to the human ear. Think "Chances Are".

I really liked her voice.

No - I'm all about Rock Chick - love voices like hers. Who woulda
thunk she'd choose nursing as a profession. Cool.

OMG - I LOVE this girl!

Something about Lives in Car Guy that I liked. I can see I'll be
pulling for him. And Itioshi - you crack me up - "Wood Jew"; "Knee
Jew" - ROFL.....you know they're both cousins of "Gottahaf Jew". :-)

He's definitely different--can't decide if I like him or not at this point.
